Step back in time with this historic 1912 Chapman Street home, originally built by Ely’s first bank president. Once the Swedish Lutheran parsonage until 1959, the property has since been a cherished private residence. This spacious home features original hardwood floors (currently carpeted), a stained-glass front window, newer roof, and new cement driveway, garage floor, and sidewalks. The main structure is clad in durable U.S. Steel siding, and a parking area sits conveniently behind the home. A welcoming front porch offers plenty of space for a porch swing and outdoor seating—perfect for enjoying Ely’s quiet charm. A single-stall garage opens to Chapman Street, with additional covered storage under the front porch for outdoor equipment. Inside, the main floor includes a formal dining room with the original chandelier still in place. The en suite addition provides modern comfort with in-floor heat, a large bedroom, walk-in closet, and ceramic-tiled bathroom with a low-entry shower. The back entry offers a walk-in pantry, coat and storage closets, and convenient main-floor laundry with sink and hanging racks. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bath, with a walk-up attic for extra storage. Blending historic charm and thoughtful updates, this meticulously maintained home is ready to be cherished by its next owner—ideally located right in downtown Ely, within easy walking distance to shops, dining, and all the best Ely has to offer.
